This client, a high-achieving professional in a managerial role, was newly diagnosed with ADHD. Despite already having a solid toolbox of strategies, they felt there was more to explore.
They didn’t need another system or organizational tool. Instead, they sought something deeper:
A safe space to build self-awareness and explore their potential.
Support in identifying their strengths, skills, and values.
A chance to rediscover their self-confidence and self-esteem.
This client wasn’t looking for a quick fix - they wanted an expert who could listen, reflect, and empower them to reconnect with their authentic self.
